about this
issue
Unique. Special. Vibrant. Community. That is what this special section, Profiles in Community, is all about. Each individual and each business, institution or professional has a role to play that’s unique. Each is special. And through each of our efforts, we create a vibrant community. This section takes a few moments out of our busy days to reflect on the importance of working together to make our towns, county and state a great place to live and work, and to recognize that one of the joys of living in small towns is getting to know one another, and the sense that we are all part of a greater whole. In our daily interactions we greet each other in many different settings: as cutomer and retailer, client and professional, neighbor and friend. Sometimes it’s an impromptu chat on Main Street or at a school function; sometimes it’s a lively exchange at town meeting; sometimes it’s just a friendly wave or a nod at the post office or in a store. It’s a common interaction, often overlooked, but it makes living here more personal, more intimate, more rewarding. That’s the root of this special section. For the past 28 years, we have published it (formerly called Meet Your Business & Professional Community) to help our readers know a little bit more about the people who play such a vital role in our communities. In this year’s section, we visit more than 175 area businesses to snap their photos, introduce their teams and tell their unique stories. While the stories vary widely, the focus within each story serves as a tribute to the hard-working employees and employers who make each business the success that it is. We hope you enjoy these pages and that you take the time to reacquaint yourself with the businesses — and the names of the employees — in this year’s Profiles in Community, a change in name that broadens the scope to include institutions, non-profits, organizations and the many other entities throughout the county that enrich our lives. Our close-knit communities have much to offer, not only in products and services, but also in the smiles of those who greet us each day and the thanks we offer in return. The editors

It’s a fascinating trip and one that keeps getting better and better the more you know about your community.

Celebrating 68 years of covering Addison County! How do the numbers 5,000, 103, 68, and 1946 go together? Simple. Since 1946, the Addison Independent has been proud to bring the best community news coverage to the residents of Addison County for the past 68 years. Today, we publish 103 issues each year (we skip one Monday issue after Christmas), generating about 5,000 pages of local news each year Ñ all news that matters to YOU!
MISSION REFLECTS OUR FOCUS ON QUALITY Our mission is to report the day-to-day events of the county, capturing the county’s weekly life with words and photos to serve as a mirror to reflect life as it’s being lived, and to shine light on the issues that need illuminating. We firmly believe that quality content is worth the expense and effort, and that the high quality of our reporting, photography, advertising, customer service, and the thoroughness of event coverage is what will continue to set us apart from the competition. We strive to be the best we can be for our customers and readers.
COME VISIT US DIGITALLY! We’ve been on the web for more than a decade and our website has won state and New England awards for its excellence! Why? Because we put the same energy and effort into making it a useful resources as we do our print editions. You can view the entire paper via flip-page function (seeing the actual pages and advertising just as it appears in the print edition), or view the news of the day online with featured news, sports, community events and activities and commentary. Online, we also feature slide shows, local videos and an expanded number of photos that we didn’t have room for in the newspaper. It’s mostly a paid site, but well worth the extra $10 a year when added to the print edition. It’s exciting, fun and up-to-date — with breaking news featured there first when it happens. Mobile Middlebury App! We also have an app. Have had for two years. It’s called Mobile Middlebury and it’s improving day-by-day with new announcements coming soon (Tip: with Route 802, we’ve partnered with the state tourism department and area chambers of commerce and are getting more traffic by the day! But more about that later.) By pairing the digital world with the strength of our local newspaper, we’re set to deliver the most up-to-date news in print, online and via your smart phones. That’s good for the community, our advertisers and keeps the Addison Independent healthy and vibrant.

WeÕ re excited about our future prospects and eager to share our expertise in all things local with you, your family and friends. Stay in touch; we will too.

Profiles: Mainly Metals By WEYLAND JOYNER BRISTOL — David Durgin is a busy man. The Bristol resident owns Mainly Metals, a machine and fabrication shop that uses a unique water jet technology to cut materials of all sorts. “It’s a jet of water with garnet mixed in,” Durgin explains. “The jet is about 1/30,000 of an inch in diameter — the size of a mechanical pencil lead — that comes out around 50,000 pounds per square inch.” What that adds up to is one extremely precise machine. “The technology was around in the ’50s, but they just didn’t have sophisticated enough software to use it the way we do,” Durgin says. Now, most of Durgin’s jobs come over email in the form of CAD DAVID DURGIN (computer-aided design) files. The specifications are plugged into a he is a natural problem-solver.

38 Main Street • Middlebury, VT
In continuous operation in Middlebury since 1949, The Vermont Book Shop is an institution. We, its stewards, are devoted to providing excellent customer service, promoting interpersonal engagement around books, and giving back to the community that supports us. BECKY bought the Vermont Book Shop in 2005 and has sustained and enhanced it in numerous capacities. Her commitment is to maintaining a great bookstore in Middlebury and contributing to a vibrant downtown economy.
GRANT joined the Vermont Book Shop in 1975 as a bookseller for founder Dike Blair. He has remained through two subsequent owners and, as our book buyer, is the bedrock of the operation.
JENNY, a native Vermonter returning from stints in Salt Lake City, Utah and Vero Beach, Florida, has just joined VBS as marketing and sales manager. She is an experienced bookseller, avid reader, telemark skier, and mom. We are delighted to have her on our team and know you will be too.
& SONS by David Gilbert (Middlebury College ‘90) I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a Salinger-esque author and his three estranged sons as shared through the eyes of a young family friend. Gilbert writes beautifully about the universal power of the filial bond, and sensitively about a specific class of New Yorkers’ captivating lives.
ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE by Anthony Doerr is a novel of two young people, Marie-Laure, a young blind girl in Paris, and German orphan Werner, who are both caught up in the terrible tide of World War II. Doerr’s writing is a pleasure to read. Chapters alternate between the worlds of both children who are each swept in the cruelty of war and the humanity that endures despite it.
MY WISH LIST by Gregoire Delacourt (Penguin). This story traces the path of Jocelyne’s life after she wins the lottery. She begins to compose her Wish List. What will she do with the money? Among her choices – keeping the news to herself, not telling her husband. Will she even cash the check? Delacourt’s descriptions of Jocelyne’s fabric shop in a small town in France are so beguiling, the reader wants her life to remain unchanged; but the lottery win has set things in motion, and the results are unexpected. A lovely gem of a book.
WE SUPPORT A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS US!
Skylar has committed more time to his executive teambuilding work, but is still very much a part of our team of booksellers and a critical cog in our machinery. He’s a lifetime customer of the shop, a great reader and a good friend.
CAROL is an essential member of our team, receiving and tracking nearly every book that comes down the Main St. chute and also maintaining our small but extraordinary music selection.
THE CRANE WIFE by Patrick Ness. I was really moved by this dreamy and heartfelt book. I felt immersed in a modern myth, in the very midst of its creation, and happily transported to a world slightly more magical than our own. The passion for life that is awakened in the main character is charming and infectious. I finished the novel feeling more present and appreciative.
THE SERPENT OF VENICE by Christopher Moore. Pocket the jester returns (with his sidekicks) in the delicious new sequel to Fool. His adventures continue through the Venice of Edgar Allan Shakespeare... (?!) Moore is one of the funniest and most creative writers working in the fantasy genre today, and Pocket his best creation. You’ll never think of great literature in quite the same way again after a Moore encounter.

MEADOW our newest bookseller comes to us from that big box bookstore on Dorset Street and is glad to work in the more humane environment VBS and its loyal customers represent. She is an enthusiastic reader of fantasy, talented craftsmaker, hobby farmer and stepmom.
AMY has two kids and is a fantastic reader and recommender of children’s books. In addition to working in the shop, she is on the UD3 school board and runs Bonnie’s Book Foundation, which provides new and gently used books to children who may not own books at home.
THE ENCHANTED by Rene Denfeld is the most magical book I’ve read in a long time. A Death Row inmate awaits his sentence while the story of another inmate and his possible appeal take us on a strange journey into the heart of redemption. A dark, deep story with bones of pure gold and glitter in the air. A death penalty investigator herself, Denfeld brings to her art an intimate knowledge of her subject. Her sophisticated, lyric style of prose is the perfect juxtaposition to the darkly banal atmosphere of death row.
PAPERBOY by Vince Vawter. Set in the 1950s segregated South, this beautifully written middle-grade novel takes you inside the mind of an eleven-year-old boy with a severe stutter. As he navigates his neighborhood paper route, struggling to communicate with the adults in his world, his actions set off a chain of events that will change his life forever. I was captivated by this semi-autobiographical novel, and I’m thrilled that it has been given a well-earned place on the 2014-15 DCF list.

Healing Touch Therapy Practioner Healing Touch is a therapy that helps restore and balance energy that has been depleted due to stress, illness, injury, grief, medical conditions, surgery or medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. When an individual has pain, the practioner focuses on removing the energy congestion so that the pain level is reduced. Think of times when you have been stressed and how it affected your body. You may have experienced muscle tightness in your neck and shoulders, developed a headache or had discomfort in other parts of your body. Stress causes congestion in our energy system. Healing Touch techniques help to relieve that congestion.

Foot Reflexology & Foot Massage Foot reflexology, developed in ancient times, is now used as a noninvasive healing therapy. It is based on the knowledge that there are reflexes in the feet, which correspond to every organ, gland, and each part of the body. Therapeutically applying pressure with the fingers and thumbs to particular points in the feet serves to relax tension, relieve stress, improve circulation, balance energy, and restore the natural functioning of the related areas in the body. Hour long sessions will include a soothing footbath, the application of reflexology techniques, and a gentle foot message.

By MARY LANGWORTHY VERGENNES — Northlands Job Corps in Vergennes has long been both a significant employer and an educational resource for Addison County residents. This year has been an important one for strengthening the school’s community connection, said Ron Dedrick, the business community liaison and work-based learning coordinator at Job Corps. Dedrick said he joined the team this year, with the goal of “trying to re-integrate (Job Corps) into the local community.” Job Corps is a national program run by the U.S. Department of Labor that was started 50 years ago as a means of combating poverty. Northlands Job Corps in Vergennes is one of 125 such government-owned locations, where income-eligible young people, age 16-24, have the opportunity to learn a trade for free. The centers are run by independent contractors; Northlands is managed by CHP International and overseen by the Boston Regional Office of Job Corps. Tony Staynings is center director in Vergennes. Upon arrival, students begin the “career preparation phase,” where they practice the skills transferrable across all trades, including so-called “soft skills,” such as how to interact with coworkers, and becoming CPR certified. Job Corps also offers students the unique opportunity to test-drive careers. There is instruction in nine trades offered at Northlands —auto technology, collision repair, business technology, certified medical assistant, culinary arts, carpentry, facilities maintenance, welding and urban forestry. At the end of the career preparation phase, students get to visit three different departments to shadow students and ask questions in order find the best fit for them. In the job market, “a lot of people get thrown in, chewed up, and spit back out,” said George McKenzie, the student government president at Northlands. Job Corps’ training in
RON DEDRICK TONY STAYNINGS both soft and hard skills helps students succeed in the workplace after graduation, McKenzie said. McKenzie, a native of Newark, N.J., has been a student at Job Corps since January. He said he is studying automotive technology because he hopes that this skill set will offer him some job security in a world dependent on cars. He is also an active student leader on campus; as student government president he has helped make Job Corps’ prom at the Vergennes Opera House a success. “It’s been a great experience for me so far,” McKenzie said of his time in Vergennes. The Job Corps program receives praise from faculty, too. “The thing I like about the program is the options that students
have,” said Jim Blanchard, a welding instructor at Northlands. “It gives students a great advantage.” Blanchard brings 40 years of professional welding experience to the job, and is one of approximately 120 employees at Northlands Job Corps. Another strength of Job Corps, said Blanchard, is that “we align our students going out into the industry with employers.” Blanchard listed numerous institutions of higher education or job sites where Job Corps graduates have moved on to, including a diesel training facility in Utah, a welding facility in New Jersey, and technical jobs everywhere from the Champlain Ferries to the far reaches of the country. In addition to being an educational resource, Job Corps also benefits the Addison County community through its role as an employer, said Dedrick. In addition to its large workforce, maintenance to the buildings and infrastructure supports local contractors. Job Corps students frequently volunteer in the community as well, said Dedrick. Students in the culinary program spent the weekend of June 21 preparing food for the city’s junior fishing derby. Urban forestry students maintain several area cemeteries. Across all programs, Job Corps students volunteer at the Vergennes Opera House. “We try to reinforce hard work and volunteerism. There’s a lot going on here, and unfortunately that doesn’t all filter out to the community. We’re trying to build that information flow,” said Dedrick. Other goals for the upcoming years include increasing the number of Vermont students at Job Corps, strengthening connections with area high schools, and collaborating with local businesses to help students receive real-world training, according to Dedrick. “Students come out of here pretty well rounded,” Dedrick concluded.

Emily Mahar Cannon, ND, PC Safe and Effective Natural Medicine
To be truly holistic, I believe a physician must listen carefully to the patient’s whole story and incorporate their priorities, values and intentions in the development of their treament plan. I have found that natural medicine works best when we carefully individualize treatments and give our patients the knowledge, support and encouragement needed to follow through. I truly enjoy sharing with my patients our understanding of the body, health and all the various medicines that we use here; and helping the patient make an active commitment to walk the path of health and healing.
